IN THEIR WORDS…
“Houston is a really, really good team. They’re well-coached and well-prepared, and they showed a lot of grit. The score is going to show a huge gap between the teams, but the reality is we were very close. The difference was where we were close, they would touch us out. Or where we won, they would finish 2-3-4. They showed a lot of toughness; I was really impressed.” – Head Coach Christopher Woodard‘s takeaways from the meet
